Makes me glad Hamilton had the foresight to change our monetary system to metric over 200 years ago. However, on Jaywalking there was still a student teacher who couldn't answer the question "How many dimes in a dollar?"
I don't get what you all have against metric.

It may be that some of us view weights and measures as we do the English language. It's part of our culture, and we don't want the government trying to change that.
